Chapter 426 Obtaining Meteorite Liquid 3
Xia Xiaoman was in a hurry to find Jiang Yue, partly because he was worried about whether there was any problem with the meteorite liquid sold officially. Now that he heard what Wang Shijin said, he felt a little relieved.
"I heard that there were volunteers participating in the experiment of meteorite liquid. Do you know how those volunteers are doing now?" Xia Xiaoman looked at Wang Shijin.
Wang Shijin shook his head. "I'm not sure. The research lab is under official management, so the information we got is limited."
Xia Xiaoman asked again: "Some time ago, the military sent 200 people to get the meteorite liquid. Where did the people who came back go? Why is there no news about them?"
"Did you know anyone among those who left that time?" Wang Shijin looked at Xia Xiaoman. If there was no one he knew, Xia Xiaoman would not know that there were 200 people who left.
Xia Xiaoman nodded and said, "Two friends went on a mission with me. I haven't been able to contact them in the past few days. I want to know if something happened to them."
Wang Shijin's face was a little solemn. "They have been temporarily isolated. Those who came back alive from that mission have undergone varying degrees of physical changes. The higher-ups are worried that they will turn into mutants, so they are isolated for treatment."
Some people may think that becoming a mutant is not a big deal, it's just a little ugly. In such a chaotic world, appearance is the most useless thing, it doesn't matter if you are a little ugly, as long as you have strong enough abilities.
However, the authorities discovered through dissecting the bodies of the mutants that their bones were deformed. This was caused by the expansion of the meteorite energy. Once the meteorite energy in the body was exhausted, the bones would break easily with a slight bend.
The authorities want the survivors to evolve, but hope that they can evolve in a good direction, rather than this kind of deformed and problematic evolution.
In order to prevent Jiang Yue and the others from having their bodies damaged by the meteorite energy, Yu Jie treated them all separately, trying her best to suppress the meteorite energy in their bodies so that Jiang Yue and the others could absorb it slowly and avoid body deformation.
Chen Peiqiong didn't know much about meteorite energy. After hearing Wang Shijin's words, she asked curiously, "Did those people drink meteorite liquid by mistake?"
Wang Shijin shook his head and said, "No, it's because they were close to the meteorite for too long, and their bodies automatically absorbed the energy emitted by the meteorite in the air."
Chen Peiqiong's eyes widened. "This is too exaggerated. Just by staying around the meteorite for a while, the energy in the body exceeded the limit. Since the underground city is so close to the garrison, will there be such energy as well? It's just not as much as near the meteorite."
Wang Shijin said: "It's possible, but even if there is, the energy of the meteorite is probably not much, otherwise we would have evolved long ago."
Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling sound in the underground city. The sound seemed to come from above. The huge sound caused the house to vibrate slightly.
Xia Xiaoman stood up and ran out immediately, not forgetting to call Wang Shijin and Chen Peiqiong.
Seeing this, Wang Shijin quickly shouted: "Don't be afraid, it's not an earthquake, it's just that the valve above has opened."
Xia Xiaoman stopped and turned around when she heard this. "Open the valve? What valve?"
Wang Shijin explained: "The underground city has a waterproof system. The first waterproof outer layer is to block ordinary water accumulation. If there is too much water accumulation, the outer layer will feel the pressure and will automatically open to release the water. The accumulated water will flow into the underground river along the pipes we set up, so there is no need to worry about the accumulated water crushing the outer shell of the underground city."
"What will happen if the underground river is also full?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
Wang Shijin said: "If the underground river is full, the water will overflow and surround the entire underground city. At that time, the underground city will activate the protection system and the entire underground city will be completely closed. In order to prevent this from happening, the underground city has been planted with plants that provide oxygen."
But it can only last for three months. After three months, without supplies to keep the dungeon running, everyone will die.
The vibration caused by the opening of the waterproof valve disturbed many people who went out to watch. After watching for a while, they could only hear the loud sound of water and no other movement. Seeing that there was no danger, they returned to their houses.
Chen Peiqiong stared at the sky for a while and murmured, "Ah Jin, do you think the water flowing down outside is water that has been mixed with meteorite liquid?"
Wang Shijin was stunned, "Yes! Why didn't I think of it. I won't talk to you guys for now, I want to report this matter." If meteorite liquid is detected in the accumulated water, they will get it!
Wang Shijin ran out excitedly. Xia Xiaoman wanted to remind him that the laboratory might have thought of this matter a long time ago, but before she could open her mouth, Wang Shijin ran away.
Wang Shijin left, and Xia Xiaoman also said goodbye.
When the outer valve was opened to release water, a vibration occurred and the elevator was temporarily suspended. Xia Xiaoman waited for about half an hour before the elevator could resume normal operation.
When he returned home and opened the door, Maodan stood up from his nest with a look of grievance, squatted in front of Xia Xiaoman, whimpering and rubbing his head against Xia Xiaoman's calf.
Xia Xiaoman thought that Maodan was frightened by the vibration just now, and rubbed Maodan's big head to comfort him, "Why do I feel that you have become timid after entering the dungeon? Such a small vibration can scare you like this."
"Awoo, awoo!" Maodan cried twice, walked to the side and kicked the food bag in annoyance. Seeing this, Xia Xiaoman muttered, "Didn't I feed you before I left? Why do you still need to eat?"
As she spoke, she took out a can of meat from the space, poured in a pound of cooked and cooled white rice, and then poured it into Maodan's rice bag.
Maodan sniffed it, ate two bites, and lay back in his nest listlessly. After lying there for a while, he got up and scratched the ground with his claws in agitation.
Seeing that it was a little abnormal, Xia Xiaoman stood up and walked over to touch its head, then checked its limbs, and found that the key parts of Maodan were a little different, exactly the same as the last time it was in heat.
Xia Xiaoman suddenly realized, "So you are missing your wife!" She looked at the time. It was still early, so the lights in the science museum should not be turned off.
"Maodan, come on, I'll take you to find a wife." Xia Xiaoman called Maodan out. Maodan didn't know if he understood, but he ran to Xia Xiaoman and followed her out.
Nini has been living in the Wild Park, and only Director Hou has the access card to enter the Wild Park. Because Xia Xiaoman often goes in and out of the Wild Park, Director Hou just leaves the access card in the office, and Xia Xiaoman can get it at any time if she needs it.
After Xia Xiaoman brought Maodan to the Science Museum, she went straight into Director Hou's office. She got the access card and planned to go to the wild garden. At this time, she accidentally touched Director Hou's computer.
The computer screen lit up, displaying a document whose contents contained Jiang Yue's personal information.
